Spinosad is a soil-dwelling bacterium that controls dozens of insect pests: bagworms, borers, beetles, spider mites, tent caterpillars, loopers, and many, many more. Yet it has a low environmental impact because, once dry, it only kills insects that ingest it. That means you won’t harm beneficial insects. We recommend applying in the evening when bees are not active.

I used the product on my cold crops to keep the imported cabbage butterflies away. could not find the tomato horn worm that I knew was eating my one tomato plant,so I sprinkle some on the plant and the next day it was laying on the driveway next to the plant. I felt it was save around benifical insects.
